It’s more boring than listening to Phil Collins sing the songs of David Grey in the voice of Leonard Cohen. And there’s still no news about selling Cuntley Cunt either. It makes the prospect of signing someone before the Villa game very slim although we do have until the end of August.
In other news about people who don’t want to leave the club Gilberto reckons Alexander Hleb will have a better season this time as he’s adapated to English football. Hear that, José? ADAPTED. ADAPTADO!! I thought he was good against Zagreb and although some of his passing is still a bit off he looks to have added a final ball to his game. He set up Robin van Persie’s goal and also put Mathieu Flamini clean through towards the end. Let’s hope he keeps it up.
Despite being 3’4″ and only 2 stone Tomas Rosicky doesn’t envisage any problems with the physical nature of English football, saying:
I’m not the strongest player in the world but I’m not afraid of engaging in a duel. I’ve no problems with that.
He’ll be taking to the filed with his duelling pistols. Hurrah.
Lauren is targetting a September comeback after his knee injury. It must have been a really serious one although the club didn’t release any details of what exactly was wrong with him. Cruciate perhaps? It will be good to have him back. His experience and unwillingness to be fucked with by any member of any opposition team is vital and it will keep Eboue, whose concentration seems dodgy at times, on his toes.
Eboue is one of three Arsenal players, Thierry and Jens as well, to be nominated for some UEFA award or other.
England U21 manager Peter Taylor has backed Theo Walcott to come good despite being dropped from the main squad. I don’t see the fuss to be honest. He shouldn’t have been in the England squad but it wasn’t his fault and I’m sure the whole experience hasn’t done him any harm at all.
Arturo Lupoli won’t be joining West Brom on loan apparently but will be going to Derby. I really don’t know how I’m coping with the excitement of all these transfers.
Now, I must return to packing boxes and throwing out a load of crap I don’t need. Anyone want two fans?
